The subtle change in the aura of the palace caught Alex's attention while he was in the middle of his cultivation. He spread his attention outside and realized Pearl had begun his breakthrough.
'Finally,' he thought.
It had been over four months now, and finally, Pearl had reached the stage where he was comfortable breaking through.
In that time, Alex had managed to perfect his understanding of the Blank Canvas Pill's aura, so he could now absorb it anytime he wanted without the need for the pill.
Since he started, he had filled more of his Blank Canvas Pill Origin, and it was now at a higher transcendence level than his Tree Origin.
That was four of eight Origins done, with the Yellow Fog being next. But first, he had to get his pills dealt with.
Since Pearl was breaking through, he needed to be done with the pills by the time he was done consolidating his cultivation. Once Pearl was done cultivating, Alex could finally leave with Bai Jingshen for his short training.
